The figures come after surprisingly high rise in June of one percent seasonally adjusted.

Earlier, analysts said that it could joke for a rate cut in September, if this continued in July, which it therefore did not.

Analyst Marius Gonsholt Hov at Handelsbanken Capital Markets is one of those who now believe the figures clearly supports a clean cut in September.

– Given that we see a slowdown in the housing market in line with Norges Bank’s expectations , we see no reason why the central bank need to be particularly concerned about lack of financial stability, writes Hov in a recent update on Wednesday afternoon.
